Lots of available land to develop and highways that provide easy access to those areas driving development.As you get closer to downtown neighborhoods can be very street by street so have to make sure you are located in the better sections.

One piece of advice: really get to know the sub-markets (block by block in some areas) and run conservative rental estimates so you don’t get surprised after closing.

I just read minutes on one condo O am looking at and saw a different unit had lost all amenities' access due to lewd and public adult acts. 

Quote from @Zarresha Carr: @Michael Smythe That’s a great point, Michael — I’ve noticed a lot of people using zip codes when discussing Detroit investing, but I can definitely see how that could be misleading compared to neighborhood or block-by-block analysis.

Utilities & Electrical PanelsIf you eventually rent it, you don’t have to split utilities—including utilities in rent is common—but separate meters make future tenant disputes easier to avoid.Electrical panels typically cannot be in a private unit unless there’s a locked common area with legal access.

In Unanimous Consent, one of the four investors you are looking at doing a deal with could potentially block anything you want to do. 

Its block by block there, so it really depends on the block.

One this year, asking 115 and described as needing 'cosmetics'  with ARV 150 - when I looked at, I came up with minimum 25k to make rent-ready, with recent sales on the block between 90k-120k. 

Slower single lane roadways might only need one or two signs at the corners.Whether there are ordinances or not, do not block sidewalks for pedestrians, cyclists, or people with disabilities.When I put out signs, I start at the house and work outwards.

Bonus points if we have complementary strengths: I have a fairly analytical mind and some capital, but not a lot of hustle, and it takes me a while to overcome mental blocks when it comes to reaching out to people.Looking forward to replies and/or DMs!
